Blocked Drains

Recommended Posts

I can also highly recommend Dave from Down The Drain. Phoned him up late on the 23rd Dec about a blocked drain outside the house - he came out at 9am the next day (Xmas eve), on the dot. Blockage identified and drain cleared within half an hour, price as he quoted. Will definitely use him again.

yes we had a good service from Dave: I'd spent ages at the weekend trying to clear a blocked kitchen outlet, he couldn't come on the Sunday afternoon when i rang, but did answer the phone and came as agreed on Monday morning. he cleared it and charged ?45 which is not bad compared to others.

Just wanted to add another recommendation for Dave from Down the Drain.


We had a leaking soil pipe and after getting a handful of different quotes/suggestions on what needed to be done, Dave gave us a very sensible solution. He completed the job quickly and professionally - super impressed with the work and would highly recommend.

Another recommendation for Down the Drain.


I had an issue with a blocked standpipe which caused the washing machine to flood my kitchen and kitchen sink draining slow.


Dave arrived promptly and quickly cleared the issue. Sink has never emptied so fast and washing machine now draining without issue.


Will use service again if required.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
